Sumterville Times: One encouraging
feature about this section of Florida is
that we have no idlers nor "drones in the
hive" Every one is engaged in some
pursuit, and the genuine old-fasbtoned

opinion has pushed him out, and either
forced him to fee the country or seek

we have among US working population,
bent on doing something for themselves
and their country. This, we say, is some
thing to be thankful for, and argues well
for the future OF our great State. Idlers,

terests on the one hand and Peace river
and the railroad on the other, and there
Will need be some mutual concessions on
each hand TO prevent delay from possible
! antagonisms. It may be found that,
| owing to new railroads entering the
! county, that it may be advisable to post
! pone indefinitely a subdivision. The
| present debt OF the county will also be
an important factor to consider in that
connection.
